I use it but I still think it's a botnet.
Amazon MP3 cloud storage. $20/yr UNLIMITED music storage.
Cloud storage is too new for me to invest too much into it (mobile data just isn't fast/reliable enough to rely on it for much) but Google Music made it possible for me to bring my whole collection on the go (for when I don't have my zune hd on hand).
I have minus for hosting most of my files from now on, as well as Dropbox and Cubby for easy access from my phone. The main thing that I don't like is not being able to batch download multiple files at once.

I have just installed Dropbox on both my PCs and on my Android. This is a great way of synching files between 2 computers without the need for emailing them to yourself or continually copying them between computers.
THe PC version is here:
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTc1MjQzMTQ5
For the Andriod version search 'Dropbox' in the market.
With Dropbox on your Andriod you can access files from your home PC without having to actually have them installed on your device. Never forget a file again and save valuable space on your SD card!
How did I ever manage without it?!
Yeah, it's really good stuff
Dropbox for android is awesome!
I wish it would actually sync to your SD card, instead of just letting you access it online, as offline sync is my favorite use for it on my laptop. It would use a lot of data, so maybe a setting to only sync on wifi.
If the OP's referral link gets maxed out, i've shamelessly posted mine. By using one of our referral links instead of just going to http://dropbox.com, you get an extra 250mb, and we get an extra 250mb.

UNDELETE - RECOVER YOUR FILES ON THE GO
Undelete for Android is an application for root users that allows you to recover any type of deleted file from your SD card or internal storage. With support for over 1000 file types, Undelete can come in handy if you accidentally delete photos or want some old tunes to listen to. Undelete can also securely wipe and shred files so that they will be impossible for others to recover.
WARNING: DATA RECOVERY IS NOT GUARANTEED. Sometimes even recently deleted files can be corrupted beyond repair as the operating system writes new files to memory.
Features:
- Restore any file that has not been written over
- Securely wipe/shred files
- Thumbnail generation
- Works with images, video, music, archives and binaries
- Batch operations
- Preview media files
Currently, only FAT is supported. On Tegra devices, only the external SD is supported. EXT 4 will probably never be supported - use a desktop tool (if you can find one).
Some files that are discovered after a scan may fail to recover as data may be corrupted beyond repair, just like desktop based solutions.
INTERNET and READ DATA permissions are needed for the logging system. Logs are only sent manually with your permission through the "Write to us" dialog.

So any issues with the Release Candidate?
Yeah thats great. And when youre traveling i suppose youll need it a computer and lots of cables...
Also, its bad form to advertise other tools in a paid software thread. Not a great start to your XDA membership.

no issues on my DInc2. for the few times i've had to use it, it worked as intended. i've restored about six pictures and an mp3 with no troubles. even found pictures and music i had deleted long ago, and restored them for kicks.
one question though, should Undelete reside on the phone, or is it okay to move it to the SD as well? i've never tried to move it to the SD because i assumed it would cause issues. Undelete is quite small so having it on the phone really isn't an issue, but i like to keep as many apps on the SD as possible.
thanks for the great app. my fat fingers thank you too.
There should be no issues. If you do have some, let me know!
And of course, please leave a review on the market, that can help a lot, considering how many crumby reviews this app gets...
Thanks!
That sounds like something worth checking out
Please do! Let me know if you have any issues!
Any issues to report?
Is there an app that will ensure proper deletion so that apps like this don't work?

This app will do it! Did i forget to leave that out of the description? You have to long press an item an choose "wipe".
You can also wipe in batch mode.
App is on saly - $2 dollars for to coincide with the upcoming release of 1.5!
We have almost completed work on Undelete 2.0 - it will be released tomorrow!
Looking forward to it! I saw the beta on the other site, but it was locked
Its coming in an hour or so!
Working perfectly THANK YOU!
Thank you! Enjoy!

The idea of Motocast (access files on home computer from phone) seems really useful. I see there is also an app called SugarSync. Has anyone tried both and like one better than the other?
I know Dropbox is also available, but I don't want cloud storage. I want to get the files on my home PC. Or can Dropbox also do this?
Yes, I should try both and decide myself. But my current phone isn't very current and I'm not eligible for an upgrade for 16 days, 4 hrs, 13 minutes, 36 seconds. So until then, I'm stuck with just browsing forums and looking through play.google
Thanks much for any replies . . .

SugarSync is also a cloud service. It stores all of your synced files on their servers, and then syncs it to your device.
I have no idea how Motocast works, since I just use SugarSync (heh , paid user even!) but if you are against cloud storage for whatever reason (privacy, etc), Motocast might be a better choice.
Thanks for the reply, podspi.
I installed Motocast on my home computer last night and setup one folder for testing. I logged into Motocast on my work computer this morning. I was able to open files from my home computer at work! Pretty cool! I assume it works as well on a Droid.
I have read more about SugarSync. Looks like it can do the same! You can put files on their cloud, buy you can also use your computer as a "personal cloud". I have nothing against cloud storage, but I would rather be able to access all my home files without having to put them in cloud storage first. My home computer is always on so that should work out for me.
So during the long eons between ordering my 64gb Midnight blue Nexus 6 and its actual delivery I am in pondering mode:
Best way to transfer the info & files from my GS4 sdcard to Nexus 6?
1. Connect GS4 to PC, drag 'n drop to pc file. Connect Nexus 6 to PC & reverse d&d?
2. Remove sdcard from GS4 & put into card reader connected to PC & do the d&d thing.
3. Card Reader for micro usb plugged into Nexus 6 & move the files into internal memory.
4. Is there a direct phone to phone method that won't take forever? If so, what?

Lolipop apparently has a new system to move content from your old phone to your new one via tapping them together (NFC). Not sure how it actually works, though - probably sets up a P2P share via WiFi and moves things that way.
In my opinion, the best way is the simplest: tether old phone to a PC then back up, tether new phone to PC and restore. You will not be able to get everything that way (texts, for example, aren't easy to move unless you are using something like Hangouts as your SMS app), but it will work for most things. And, of course, keeping as much stuff on the cloud to begin with is a good way to start; photos/music/docs, etc can just be pulled down from GDrive/OneDrive/DropBox/etc as needed.
I plan on using my < $1 OTG cable and an SD card reader.

Pretty sure the new transfer thing is lollipop to lollipop only.
Thanks for the info, guys.
Wifi direct and NFC are in kit kat, pretty sure. Someone mentioned an app called Super beam that is supposed to organize & facilitate the process.
In my experience wired communication has been faster than a wireless one. But the PC method takes two transfers. ...to pc & then back to the other phone. So the wifi direct method could be just as fast.
The otg cable & card reader sounds as if it might be the fastest since only a single, wired transfer is involved.
That said, I guess priority should be given to ease of use. Preserving the file / folder structure and being able to set up the whole thing as a batch operation would be paramount.

Nope ... It utilizes your google account to go and grab apps and setup from previous devices, plus if you use NFC it will use that to read the other phone. There have been several reviews and videos on it already.
ES File Explorer let's you transfer files phone to phone via WiFi. I'd imagine that putting it in a micro USB reader like the meenova would be faster though.
I backup all my stuff on OneDrive and Google Drive. All the app will be download when I activate the phone so no need to worry on that.

I know that Titanium doesn't back up personal data like pictures, music, documents etc

For personal data, I backup my photo on the cloud drive same with document. I usually load my music from my computer using iSyncr so no need to worry about personal data
I rarely put any important stuff on my phone only because I'm screw if i lost my phone
One way i get my stuff backup is set the directory on the cloud drive to backup. Not sure if Google Drive does it but I'm using OneDrive to backup all my photo directory

So I was just wondering if anyone inside of the US or any of its territories able to purchase a higher data allowance for Samsung cloud? I'm stuck with the basic 15 gig plan and have not seen nor found any method to actually upgrade this. I'm on AT&T myself. I don't know if it's carrier side same way we don't have the device maintenance antivirus or security feature.
Contact them. Phone/email

Question is, why would need more than 15 GB of storage where can:
1.just not upload your photos to their clouds. Instead, upload them to Google photos and stop it on the Samsung cloud service and free a lot of space on your phone. I doubt that your apps and documents will need more than 15 GB of storage.
2. Just use smart switch to back up your data to an external SD card.
Doing the first one, I've survived apple's iCloud's 5GB of storage. Never went past 4GB lol

Toss Samsung's Notes as they will likely leave you in a bind in the future.
S Notes cost me hours of clean up time because they weren't transferable to my 10+.
Don't need that $hit.
Using ColorNote now... still need to fully test it for restore but should work.
Critical files stored as Word docs.
Cloud? Use the SD card as a data drive. Backup to PC plus 2 more hdds. No more screwing around wasting time and battery for data to download because it's all already on the data drive... reloads are a cake walk.

The problem is when you upgrade the phone; the new Samsung SNote may not support the older saved one fully. You been warned...
